This is an interesting idea but it would be cool if it were more granular, like I pay while my payload is executing only, and an API abstracts away which GPUs I'm running on, the execution environment, etc and just let's me push in code and get out data when it's done.

There's also an old bug where browsers re-interpreted image as HTML (even with correct MIME type set) and this allowed to host exploits on user-upload sites. Not sure if any modern browser still has this problem, but it used to be a concern. Recoding the image usually broke those exploits. Though it also could break some metadata - e.g. if you go from JPEG to PNG you could lose EXIF data.

What Is Synthetic Caffeine? Is It in Soda and Energy Drinks?
As someone in marketing, I’ll point out that the technology has advanced quite a bit from the infamous Target case study.

The most powerful signals now are not demographics and search history, but location, transactions and automatic content recognition (ACR).

Transactions is pretty straightforward, your bank and/or payment networks sell your data to brokers at a merchant level. Many retailers sell your data at a SKU level.

Location is less visible. There are various levels of granularity of location tracking and reporting built into many SDKs that are included in just about any mobile app you download, and that data is sold.

Automated content recognition (ACR) is the craziest. The actual contents of your screen- the Instagram post, the TV show you are watching, etc (and its underlying transcript) are analyzed by the app or the TV, and sold often in real time to data brokers with such efficiency that you can be viewing the photo of the new Land Rover your friend just bought and posted, to your very next swipe being an ad for a Land Rover
It's not great reporting.

The article seems to be fixated on how he lied to his finance sources, and acts like that was the only thing he did wrong.

If you read the SEC lawsuit [1], the problem is less that he lied to his finance sources and more about what he did with the funds, which was blatant market manipulation:

"Archegos, through Hwang and Tomita, effected this scheme by dominating the market for its Top 10 Holdings, as well as by “setting the tone” (i.e., engaging in large pre- market trading), bidding up prices by entering incrementally higher limit orders throughout the trading day, and “marking the close” (i.e., engaging in large trading in the last 30 minutes of the trading day) and by other non-economic trading, all with the goal of artificially inflating the share prices of its Top 10 Holdings."

I mean, obviously he lied to his finance sources. It's not like he was going to tell them that he was using their funds to manipulation the market.

> Diet and exercise are extremely effective in treating type 1 diabetes. But some exogenous insulin (and other medications) are usually still required.

I think you are misinformed about Type 1 diabetes. Maybe you are thinking of some other condition?

In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas stops producing any insulin. Insulin must be administered regularly (always, not usually) or the person will die. "Other medications" aren't required.

One's diet and exercise are relevant to Type 1 diabetes treatment, but are not a treatment method.

> You don’t steal if you are doing well. Tons of people barely getting by with little to no safety net. Catch a porch pirate and another steps in. But solving the root cause for theft is a political thing and given current political circumstances, caring about people is seen as weak by half of the electorate.

I don’t buy this. Theft wasn’t this bad in San Francisco just ten or twenty years ago. Theft also is worse in SF than it is in places like Alabama/Mississippi where they actually enforce laws.

> some random statistician who likely doesn't know the basics of physiology.

since you know nothing about him, that's hardly called for. I could doxx him but he didn't consent to that. And he said his doctor thanked him for it.

And you have fuzzed the difference between "a disease" and "something to watch for." If ~50% of the US population needs to be watched, the doctor learns nothing by having a label put on their HbA1c level. The word added nothing to their understanding.

> If there is reason to suspect diabetes then it would be wise to conduct additional tests to get a better understanding of the patient's metabolic condition.

And finally, you just confirmed what I said. It's not "a disease" -- it's a risk factor. Like smoking, drinking, obesity, or sedentariness.

The more everyone objects without any logical argument, the more it's confirmed:

"if that biomarker, all by itself, predicts type 2 diabetes better than random chance, in the absence of any other risk factor, we're entitled to call it a disease."

I’m a mountain biker, I even internally complain about some road cyclists.

The ones who take up far more of the road than necessary, granted because they can, and slow you down prior to traffic lights meaning you hit a red.

But when you hit a red, they swerve onto the pavement, across the junction with the pedestrians and then onwards beyond the red light while I’m still sat at the red. All while not dismounting from their bike.

In the UK, where I live they should stop at the light and not pretend to be a pedestrian. But they’re also entitled to the road, but when they ride in a manner that means I would have to veer well into the oncoming lane to get around them it’s just not worth it. A wee bit if there’s no traffic is fine, but not too much.

It's really good advice, because it makes it so much easier to just let things go. Yes, the website I'm using is awful and could easily be done better. Yes, the person I'm taking to is obviously wrong. But I'm not going to get anything out of getting involved - at best some mild catharsis - and I'll just waste everyone's time doing so. So let it go.

>No one is guaranteed a specific return on investment.

Indeed, And nobody is guaranteed housing.

Landlord profits are arbitrage between 1) long term and short term financial obligation, 2) High credit and low credit individuals, 3) high and low assets at stake.

Just like how a bank makes a % interest for taking risk and providing capital that owners wont, landlords do the same thing. Landlords get paid a profit to take on risk and long term liability (to the bank), and again provide capital.

In short, banks loan cash to landlords because they are more credit worthy and take on liability. They in tern loan a home to renters, who have worse credit and much less liability.

It is all about paying a premium for others to take on financial risk.

There is no evidence to backup your statement that it didn't have enough fuel to complete it's mission. It intentionally did not go to orbit because they didn't want to risk stranding such a huge vehicle that can withstand re-entry in orbit if its engines were unable to relight. And indeed they did have issues with relighting the engines so that was a very good decision in retrospect.

It was an intentional decision not to go into orbit.

Tools based on interactive provers (like Coq or Lean) typically require more guidance from the user but can guarantee even more complex properties.
